简要总结
Rectosigmoid involvement by endometriosis causes intestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and dyschezia. A non-invasive diagnosis of bowel endometriosis is relevant to provide the patients information on the potential hormonal or surgical treatments. The objective of the current study was to compare the performance of three-dimensional rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (3D-RWC-TVS) and computed colonography (CTC) in predicting the presence and characteristics of rectosigmoid endometriosis.
